CARTIER - Rare Sagittarius Enamel pendant plique-à-jour Gold
Splendid vintage circular pendant in solid 18K yellow (750 thousandths), stamped with an eagle's head Hallmark and the partial diamond Hallmark of Maitre orfèvre AXC. French work from the 1960s, produced by CARTIER. Unsigned.
The pendant features a stylized bust of a centaur bending his bow, representing the astrological zodiac sign of Sagittarius (November 23-December 21). The figure is in finely textured gold overlaid with Enamel in three shades of darker or lighter gold. The frame is in translucent blue plique-à-jour enamel. No engraving on the reverse.
Height with bezel: 2.8 cm
Diameter: 2.04 cm
Weight: 2.55 g
Condition: Very good, with micro-scratches on the gold parts. The centaur enamel is in excellent condition. The plique-à-jour enamel is complete with traces of use: scratches, traces of crazing. See detail photos. This is a rare piece of jewelry for both men and women.
This exceptional, colorful and luminous zodiac pendant is an Authentic collector's item.
NB: I have listed an identical pendant with the signature "Cartier" engraved on the back and bearing the Hallmark of Maitre Orfèvre AXC (probably the Adrien Chobillon workshop in Paris). Note that the same model was also made by Arthus Bertrand, but in this case it is stamped with this jeweler's Hallmark AB.
Fast, careful dispatch in a New Case with invoice (the antique presentation Case pictured is not part of the sale). Sold without chain.
